I was wondering if there was anyone here who knew of anything that I could do to help: any alternative therapies, any advice on how to handle seizures or their effects, any ways to be supportive. Any words of advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
I have Fahr's too, but no pain and no seizures yet. There is nothing that western medicine offers. Maybe go to an acupuncturist???? paulapepper. I am 64.

I have Fahrs disease and I have acupuncture. I don't know if it does any good but there is nothing else out there. Paula

Help needed -Fahr's Syndrome
 
Hi,

First post here from the UK, London area.

My best friend Terry has been diagnosed within the last 6 days with Fahr's Syndrome and both myself and his family are looking for all the help we can get. He is 43, and started fitting/having seizures at night 10 days ago.

His worst episode was on Sunday 30th September 2013 when he had 3 seizures in a short space of time and was taken to hospital where a CT scan immediately showed calcium deposits on the top of the brain.

Medication to control the seizures has been prescribed and taken from Monday 1st October.

Can anyone help us as we are desperately worried?

Thanks

Ruppy.

Hi Starlight, is this UK based?

My 48yr-old brother-in-law has this. Very Parkinson's like, with added mental mellowing. What are we to expect? What is the likelihood of his daughters getting this?

Hello Spiral,

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

I'm sorry that I can't help you with any information about Fahr's Syndrome, but I did just have a quick look for other posts by using the
Forum Search Feature

I looked for "posts" not "threads" and used Fahr's Syndrome as the keywords. Quite a number of old posts came up.

I hope you are able to find information and support here.

take care.

I've been treated for physical problems ie, degenerated disc disease, spinal stenosis, osteoporosis; I have a spinal stimulator implant, and pain shots every 4 months, but have been diagnosed last year with Fahr's Disease! But I'm 74 years old,and am ambulent and I can still think! Stress can play a part, I've learned, but how can one control stress when thinking about this disease? I'm interested in the program you mentioned that has been reopened in studying Fahr's Disease...
